Re: Is a 6.5x54mm adequate for Water Buffalo?
|
I have shot Warthogs with a .577 2 3/4, Kangaroos and Goats with a 577/450 and a 470NE and balloons with an 8 Bore. Springbuck with a 9.3x74R and Blacktail Deer with a 404 Jeffery. Waiting until the right animal comes along to shoot a favourite rifle is waisting time.
In reply to:
I would dearly love a double. I can afford one, but I can't justify one to myself.
Get the Double, shoot 'Roos, Pigs, Deer, Goats, Foxes etc with it. Have fun, enjoy the rifle for what it is and hope a rich relative dies so you can go to Africa and hunt elephant.
